Don’t focus on being the best, focus on being better than yesterday - Courses and Workshops - Ian in France - Special Offer

I started exercising again almost 2 months ago, after a break of about 6 months. I didn’t choose the easiest of sports: I started CrossFit. I joined a Crossfit Box in a neighbouring town, and there are people of all levels of fitness in our classes. This sport is wonderful because we can all train together, at our own levels. I felt really self-conscious in the beginning, feeling and looking very out of shape compared to some of the people there. The kindness and welcoming attitude everyone had there made me feel less out of place and more a part of this new world that is opening up in front of me. Thanks to them, I have stopped comparing myself to others, and now compare myself to me, from yesterday. Each day I see small steps towards bettering myself: yesterday I was able to do a dip better than I had been able to do it the week before. A few days earlier I was able to do something else that I hadn’t been able to do earlier. When I falter, and start comparing myself to others, feeling like I’m not good enough, that’s where the essences come in to help.

Here are a few essences that come time mind for these situations, whether they be for exercise related situations or for your next challenge or even just because something in what I wrote rang a bell for you (they are by alphabetical order this time):

• Agrimony (Deva) can help increase your self-esteem.
• Alpine Azalea (Alaskan) is helpful for those who live in an attitude of conditional self-acceptance, connecting us with the vibration of Love, and as we open our hearts to this penetrating energy, it catalyses the release of old patterns of self-doubt.
• Aragonite (Pacific) promotes self-reliance and inner security.
• Centaurée (Deva) can help affirm yourself and believe in your abilities.
• Columbine (Alaskan) teaches us that perceived physical imperfections do not limit our unique spiritual qualities. It reminds us to be as nature guides us to be, uniquely ourselves.
• Confid Essence (Australian) brings out the positive qualities of self-esteem and confidence. It allows us to feel comfortable around other people and be true to ourselves. It resolves negative subconscious beliefs we may hold about ourselves as well as any guilt we may harbour from past actions.
• Dog Rose (Australian) is for treating fears, niggling little fears, not terror. Overcoming fear allows an increase in the flow of the vital force, quality of life, courage and self esteem.
• Fig (Spirit-in-Nature) helps with flexibility and self-acceptance, to soften too strict a sense of discipline, toward oneself and others. It is for those too hard on themselves, with unrealistic expectations and difficulty with change. Fig brings a sense of humour, fluidity, self-liberation, and the ability to go with the flow and be at ease with people.
• Five Corners (Australian) allows the life force to flow through to our five centres. When this happens, a person feels good and strong in themselves. They feel their own love and beauty. It resolves low self-esteem, lack of confidence and diminished self-love.
• Gold (Alaskan) helps us look at ourselves and others with fresh eyes to see value where we didn't see it before. The empowerment that comes from knowing oneself is crucial because those who don't or can't sense their inherent value can feel powerless and threatened, making them susceptible to having other people's values placed on them.
• Liard Hot Springs (Alaskan) can help clear ancient patterns from our energy fields, minds, and emotions when our sense of identity and self-worth is contaminated with negative feelings connected to mistakes and choices from the past.
• Mutt (Wild Earth) for opening the heart, and feeling and expressing unconditional love. Nurtures our ability to be more loving with ourselves and others.
• Orme (Deva) can help restore your self-confidence.
• Peacock (Wild Earth) nurtures a sense of fullness, completion, and wholeness. For claiming one's authenticity and authority. Enhances confidence and supports self-esteem.
• Pin (Deva) can help free yourself from feelings of guilt when you fail to achieve something.
• Plumbago (Deva) can encourage you to affirm your opinions.
• Sphagnum Moss (Alaskan) helps us turn inappropriate judgment and criticism into unconditional love and acceptance. It is beneficial when we are critical and judgmental of our healing journey, when we may be dealing with chaos, confusion, and even disease.
• Tamarack (Alaskan) enhances our awareness of who we are and strengthens the knowledge of our true selves and unique abilities.
• Terrier (Wild Earth) for experiencing the simplicity and joy of the present moment. For letting go of the busy mind and just appreciating what is around you. Helps letting go of the complexity of life and revelling in the simple joys of being alive.
• Tomato (Green Hope Farm) supports cleansing when we are blocked in any way. No Essence brings chemical change, but the information of Tomato sometimes helps us literally unblock.
• Unakite (Pacific) can help for right-mindedness leading to right action.
• Wild Jasmine (South African) is a powerful aid in shifting situations where people lack self-esteem and self-love so that they cannot conceive that they are lovable and loved and, therefore, concentrate on their failings, feeling separated and alienated from the spiritual worlds. It provides a bridge whereby one may cross to a new way of being.
• Willow (Deva) can allow you to overcome bitter feelings and feelings of resentment towards yourself.
